Guide Posts
“The first lesson of life is to
burn our own smoke; that is not
to inflict on outsiders our per
sonal sorrows and petty morbid
ness, not to keep thinking of our
selves as exceptional eases.”—
James Russell Lowell
Station; and Irvin Lloyd, federal
agencies. Each of the three- have
selected their drive committees
and organization is expected to be
completed this week.
The College Station United Chest
combines fourteen drives into one
effort, thus eliminating the neces
sity for many separate drives,
Hervey explained.
The agencies participating in
varying amounts in the 1959 drive
are: College Station Community
House; College Station Youth Fa
cilities Council; the College Sta
tion YMCA; the College Station
Recreation Council.
The Brazos Valley Crippled Chil
dren’s Therapy Center; Brazos
County Youth Counseling Service;
Bryan-College Station Girl Scouts;
Gonzales Warm Springs Founda
tion.
The American Red Cross; Tekas
United Fund; Boy Scouts of Amer
ica; College Station Charity Fund;
Salvation Army; and the Brazos
Coounty Hospital Fund.
“Everyone of these agencies is
worthy of your support,” Hervey
stated. “Your Chest Committee
has carefully gone over each agen
cy’s budget request and believes
the total budget is fair and equit
able.”
Hervey went on to explain that
this year’s campaign slogan, “One
Day’s Pay. . .the United Way,”
does not mean a donor has to limit
his contribution to that amount.
The “one day’s pay” idea serves
as a guide only in answer to the
question, ‘How much shall I give,’ ”
he said.
Hervey concluded by saying that
if any service • group, civic organ
ization or club in College Station
desires more information about
the United Chest prior to the drive
dates, Nov. 1-15, that a meeting
speaker could be provided by call
ing his office in the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
“We look forward to another
successful drive,” Hervey said.
Cadets Seek
First Victory
In SWC Play
By BOB WEEK LEY
Battalion Sports Editor
Early this afternoon the
Aggies filed aboard their
plane and departed for Fort
Worth and their Saturday
afternoon date with the*TCU
Horned Frogs, a frustrated eleven
that hopes to make a Southwest
Conference comeback at the ex
pense of the Aggies.
The Frogs must win this
game to maintain their opportunity
to defend their championship or at
least share in it. Already the
Frogs have met the quick-hitting
Arkansas Razorbacks and tasted
defeat by a field goal. This is the
Farmer’s first venture into the
conference race this season.
The contest will put the two
leading ball carriers in the con
ference against each other, one a
tried veteran and the other a sopho
more. Jack Spikes, playing his last
year for TCU’s purple and white,
leads the conference in rushing
with 273 yards on 52 carries.
A&M’s Jesse McGuire is hot on his
heels with 230 yards in 35 tries.
But jumping Jesse is labeled a
doubtful starter by Aggie Coach
Jim Myers. McGuii’e came out of
the University of Houston game
with a injured knee and has not
responded well to treatment this
week.
Ends Ralph Smith and Russell
Hill are also on the disabled list
for the Cadets, Smith has a hurt
shoulder and has not worked out
all week while Hill twisted his
ankle in practice Wednesday. Both
men might be ready in time for
the game.
TCU Coach Abe Martin has his
problems too in the injury depart
ment. He announced Wednesday
afternoon that Jackie Sledge, a
6-1, 175-pounder, will start at
quarterback for the Frogs Satur
day in place of the ailing Larry
Dawson.
Sledge, who played in his first
game since 1957 last week when
TCU beat Texas Tech, was moved
ahead of the No. 2 quarterback
Donald George.
The Frogs have three outstand
ing players in tackle Don Floyd,
fullback Jack Spikes and half
back Marvin Lasater.
Floyd was one of the finest
junior linemen in the nation last
year and was named to the Look
Magazine All-American team. He
also made the NBC and Gridiron
Record first teams and was a
second unit choice of the As
sociated Press.
Lasater has been a first team
halfback for three years for the
Frogs. Spikes was a unanimous
all-Conference selection last year
and made many all-American hon
orable mentions.
The Aggies will counter the
Horned Frogs great talent with
Charley Milstead and Halfback Jon
Few. Milstead has drawn repeated
praise this season for his outstand
ing work at quarterback and his
captaining of a team that has won
three straight victories over inter
sectional foes.
Few has turned into one* of the
steadiest, performers on the Aggie
team, doing a great job on both
offense and defense.
Game time at Fort Worth is
2 p. m.
